At an average of four cows to the farm and aut average cream loss of $ 10 . per cow per year ( it is more often from $ 15 . to $ 25 . ) all of which could be saved with the use of a De Laval Cream Separator , this alone represents an annual cream loss of $ 40 , 000 , 000 . Then there are , all told , perhaps a half million inferior and old and worn out machines in use whose owners could easily save $ 5 . per cow per year by exchanging their cream wasting machines for De Lavals , and figuring on an average of six cows per farm , this represents another loss of $ 15 , 000 , 000 at least . Then to thia tremendous cream waste through the use of Inferior separators must be added the excessive cost for repairs on cheap and inferior machines and the cost of replacing machines which should last from t...

More Livestock Under present conditions of high prices and ready markets for all animal products it seems doubtful if any farmer can afford to leave livestock out of his farming operations . Local conditions must always determine the class of stock best suited for the individual , if he will but study the character of his land , the crops he can best grow , and his markets at hand , before making his selection of that type and class and then select the most adapted breed , the chances are big for satisfactory results . But it is not good business farming to try to raise fat cattle near a fine dairy market or sheep in a section noted for horses . There is both need and opportunity for men to enter and increase their stock operations along all lines . Population con WBtVL OH THE BOAS TO PORK tinues to increase , and yet the number of cattle , sheep and hogs is constantly decreasing , not only in the United States , but in most European countries as well The automobile has not ruined t...

Co-operation That Co-operates A new farmer now occupies the chair as Secretary of Agriculture in the cabinet of Woodrow Wilson , president of the United States . His name is David Franklin Houston . President Wilson found him in St Louis , Missouri , where he was running Washington College . He was selected for efficiency . One of the big points in his favor seems to have been the fact that no one was pushing him for the job .

Our Experiment Stations Reports From the Farmers Labratory Alfalfa Management ia Iowa The Iowa Experiment Station , Ames , i « Thas just issued a valuable bulletin ^ management of alfalfa in that state . The bulletin takes up the value and possibilities of this wonderful crop in a most factory manner . Much , , s still to be earned regarding the best methods of Sing alfalfa and the best treatments Lr various soils . Considering every acre alfalfa in the State of Iowa in 1910 the verage y ield was 2 . 7 tons per acre ; though the total acreage is still comparatively small , the plant is being grown with considerable success in all parts of that State . Alfalfa surpasses all other farm crops in feed value . Each acre of alfalfa averages 2 . 6 times as much protein as red clover ; 2 . 75 times as much as corn and four times as much as oats . Alfalfa seedings in Iowa have been maintained for over twenty years , and on one field the alfalfa has persisted for . over thirty-five years . Go...

Aix ^ fe ^ p ^ E ^ Better Use of Fertilizers The best reults from the use of fertilizers is obtained when they are used in connection with animal manure or rotten sod . The two give the greatest returns at the least cost The quantity to apply to an acre will depend upon the condition of the ground . On soils which have been built up by the free use ot stable manure or green crops , a snail quantity of fertilizer can be profitably used to start the seed . About 250 to 300 pounds may be applied to an acre in the hill for corn . Use a good corn fertilizer . This quantity will give the corn a vigorous start , which it will maintain throughout the growing season . Fertilizers should also be drilled in with the corn . If sown in the row or dropped in the hill , mix it with ear * before dropping the grain or setting the plant . Phosphate should never be thrown in and piled in a hill . Sprinkle it oyer a four-inch space so that the first rainfall APPITIBG UHB WITH A U » DRILL AT THB OHIO BX...

Inventor of the Cream Separator Dead Carl G . P . De Laval , known throughout the world as the inventor of the cream separator , died recently in Stockholm , Sweden , his native city , at the age of sixty-seven . His activities were by no means confined to the development of the cream separator for he was a most prolific inventor in other fields of scientific endeavor and practical usefulness . Among others of his notable inventions were the milk tester , a centrifugal churn , an emulser and the mechanical cow milker . He DR . BB LAVAL , IHVBITTOR 07 THB CKBAM 8 BPARATOR was a tireless worker and continued actively in his experimentation until the time of his death . Two of his inventions , the cream separator and the milk tester , though further developed by others , have saved millions of dollars to the world s dairy interests and largely made possible the wide use of dairy products , as we know them today . Dr . De Laval has often been referred to as the Edison of dairying . Rape...
